RE: Honeypots & reccord industry

I don't remember the source, but I have read this several times. I don't
think it is a secret.

People should not be illegally downloading copyrighted material, so I
don't see the problem.

A courtcase based on evidence collected from one of these honeypots
might finally test the entrapment defense theory...but the RIAA would
probably just use the evidence collected to track other more certain
types of evidence.
